The citry is winched along tracks through a devasted land full of hostile tribes. Rails must be freshly laid ahead of the city and carefully removewd in its wake. Rivers and mountains present nearly insurmountable challenges to the ingenuity of the city's engineers. But if the city does not move, it will fall farther and farther behind the 'optimum' into the crushing gravitational field that has transformed life on Earfth. The only alternative to progress is death. Better than anyone, Howard Mann knows how tenuous is the city's continued existence. But the world - he is about to discover - is infinitely stranger than the strange world he believes he knows so well. 322p.
